Why should you start your child in karate?
Karate is more than just a physical improvement. Thousands of children worldwide are benefiting from the discipline and structure of the program. You will notice a real improvement in your childs behaviour after only a few short months of attending the group. Karate can play a critical role in shaping the characteristics of your children, for the better.
How much does it cost?
Students can pay a monthly fee of £28 and attend as many classes as they want. Alternatively, students may pay £5 each time they come to a session. We recommend students attend as many sessions as possible as it speeds up the development and learning.
How old does my child have to be?
We take children from around age 5, once they know there left from right and are safe to be taking part. The oldest starters are around 14-15, and at this point, they maybe ready to join an adult group. We will be starting our own adult group in the near future, or can recommend sister clubs in Torquay, Kingskerswell and Teignmouth.

FSK National Championships 15th October 2011- Central dojo Newton Results
Following Central Dojo Newton Abbot’s establishment in April 2010, students entered their first ever competition in the Federation of Shotokan Karate championships in Nottingham. Sensei Richard was unable to compete this time as he has had ankle surgery in the last month. However, Sensei Cory entered together with 8 students from Central Dojo Newton.
All students dealt with the pressure of competition and excelled in their performances. Harriet Hebbes, aged 11, won Gold in the Junior Grade 11 years and under Kata, with Josie Ruddall taking bronze and Thomas Fursdon fourth place. All three students were in a category with approximately 50 other competitors and maintained excellent technique throughout each round. Natasha Hearn and Brandon Clarkson took bronze in the junior 11-15 Kata, with William Hottot taking silver in the same event.
Natasha Hearn placed fourth in the girls over 5 foot Kumite, and showed great resilience fighting competitors with years more experience. William Hottot, Thomas Fursdon and Brandon Clarkson demonstrated good fighting spirit in the boys Kumite, again, fighting competitors of much higher grades.
Duncan Ruddall took bronze in both the Men’s Junior Grade Kata and Men’s Junior Grade Kumite. Duncan lost a close fought semi-final by only one point. Cory Cuff won Gold in the Ladies Kata and took Silver in the Ladie’s Kumite.
Sensei’s Rich and Cory are extremely proud of all students who took part in the National Championships and would like to thank all those who supported students on the day.
